Archbishop Curley administering Confirmation at the Cathedral
Events this week
As with most everything else this year, the Giving Tree project is turned topsy-turvy. There will be no Giving Tree with wishes for actual presents. We still want to continue the tradition of spreading joy and cheer to children in need and hope you will want to continue to help in this cause. Our plan is to collect monetary donations of any amount which will be turned into gift cards to be distributed to registered families to allow them to buy toys, clothes or food as needed.
If attending Mass, you will find a portrait of St. Nicholas, known for his generosity and love of children, in the back of the church. We invite you to take an envelope which will explain the process. Donations may be made by check payable to ‘St. Anthony Parish’ with Giving Tree noted on the memo line.
If giving online go to the donation link for Giving Tree on the school website: www.stanthonyschooldc.org or on the parish website: www.stanthonyofpaduadc.org and donate through Faith Direct using parish code DC463 and writing ‘Giving Tree’ in the note section of the payment page. Thank you for your generosity.
Results of the Pack and Troop 98 online Scouting for Food 2020 drive are in. Our scouts collected donations online and in-person for over 1,100 individual items of food totalling over 1,335 pounds! All donations will go to our St. Anthony's Bread: St. Vincent de Paul Emergency Food Pantry. Thank you to our scouts and to our community for your generosity! You can learn more about scouting at St. Anthony's at www.bsa98dc.org
